POST IT Act of 2025
Plain Language Summary
# POST IT Act of 2025 Summary **What It Would Do** The POST IT Act would require the Small Business Administration's Office of the National Ombudsman to add direct links on its website to regulatory guidance documents. Specifically, it would make it easier for small businesses to find policy explanations related to rules that significantly affect them by hyperlink, rather than having to search elsewhere for this information. **Who It Affects** This bill primarily affects small businesses and the agencies that regulate them. When new federal rules are created that could significantly impact small companies, agencies already must prepare simplified compliance guides. This bill would just ensure those guides are easier to access through a centralized location. **Current Status & Key Details** The bill (HR 822) is currently in committee and has not yet been voted on by the full House.
It's a relatively straightforward transparency measure sponsored by Rep. Jefferson Van Drew (R-NJ). There are no major controversial provisions—it essentially aims to improve the visibility of existing compliance resources that small businesses may need.
